Regimental Slow Marches of the Foot Guards

Video is not amazing, the music is main thing. If someone asks why I put Figaro at last in this video it's because of Regimental Motto of the Coldstream Guards - Nulli Secundus.

1. Grenadier Guards - Scipio
2. Scots Guards - The Garb of the Old Gaul
3. Irish Guards - Let Erin Remember
4. Welsh Guards - Men of Harlech
5. Coldstream Guards - Figaro

I may be wrong, but the Grenadier Guradrs slow march is "Scipio," and the one posted is "The Escort for the Colour," ut Imay be in error as to the last part. Not to the first. The march posted is NOT "Scipio,' at least by Hayden.

First march is Scipio by Händel. Believe me. Escort for the Colour is played during Trooping the Colour ceremony when the Massed Bands are doing the Spin Wheel manouver.

I beg your pardon... they most certainly did not, "steal," it!

Handel gave permission for his march, "Scipio," to be used by the Grenadier Guards, shortly after his opera Scipione premièred in London.

Which leads me to believe that the Coldstream Guards were given permission to use, "Non più andrai," as their slow march as well.

I have to say though, it is incredibly amusing to hear an American talk about stolen culture...

All Hail The FootGuard!

@emptyangel

Actually you are semi correct... Handel actually wrote "Scipio" for the Grenadier Guards before he actually included it into Scipione.

Proud to be Scottish ^.^

Over on Wolf 359, this is the stuff that amazes us the most. Everything else is easily explained, but this whole category, beginning with the aurochs horn tromp, is too subtle even for us. Hint: this is all about peace, love, and not needing Foot Guards. On W359 we have the Foot Lovers, and that is "Foot" as in "not Mounted". We hail you, Earthlings!

@BBBOBBYful No Surprise, many of you were bloody germans, America first bastards probably!

[TomTheConductor]

@KFWVAII With respect, sir, the first is Handel's Scipio.

I agree with you that it doesn't sound like Haydn's Scipio.

God save the Queen!

[achantus1]

This is the march that follows immediately after the ouverture of the opera Scipio by Handel.It has absolutely nothing to do with nazis. Really!

@KFWVAII

This is Scipio. Escort to the colour is played before the colour is recieved. This is played as the flag is paraded by the queen.
